The first step is to add the PhoneNet channel to the PMDF configuration file. PhoneNet channel names must begin with p_, for example p_smc.
Note:
For compatability with previous releases, PMDF on OpenVMS will allow PhoneNet channel names without the "p_" prefix. Such names are not recommended.
Since PhoneNet channels are point-to-point, you must create a separate channel, with its own option and script files, for each link to a remote system. A typical channel definition looks like this:
p_smc engvax.smc.com
The rewrite rules in the configuration files should now be edited to refer to the new channel as appropriate. Continuing our example, a likely rewrite rule for the channel definitions shown above:
engvax.smc.com $U@engvax.smc.com
